FLORIDA CARES PRESS RELEASE:
"Hi, My name is Eddie Staton, National President of Mad Dads, Inc., and we need your help to save the lives of your young people by showing them WE CARE. YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS SIMPLE, BECOME A MENTOR. SPEND THREE HOURS PER WEEK WITH A YOUNG CHILD. In order to ensure the success of this monumental initiative, we have assembled a new collaborative program based on creating "City Circles" to recruit 100,000 mentors by 2010. Our kickoff proved to be a huge success as mentor from throughout the state convene in Jacksonville to plan a better future for our youth. We thank all who shared int he moment and look forward to your continued participation."
Florida Cares Mentor Initiative is a call to action for every able Black adult to take under wing a vulnerable young person, which costs nothing. The call simply asks us to join a trusted mentoring organization in our community or gather a number of friends and, together, mentor a group of at-risk youngsters. All it takes is love and a little time to open the gates to success for our disenfranchised children.
If you would like to be among the committed men and women in your community who are leading change, we ask that you join mentors statewide in working on the most important task that will define the future of our children, community and country: ** turning failing schools into safe, supportive, top-tier learning environments with culturally relevant curricula. **
